I would like to take this opportunity to tell everyone a little about myself and what it is I'm trying to do. I am a native of the Pensacola area, I have lived in Pensacola nearly half my life. I was fortunate to spend some of my teenage years in Saudi Arabia, California, Missouri and Maryland.
I served in the U.S.Coast Guard as a corpsman, my duties included: radiology, laboratory technician, prehospital trauma, advanced cardiac life support, controlled substances custodian, Training officer, pharmacy technician, minor surgery, independent duty and supply officer. I am now retired.
I have had an interest in fungi of all sorts ever since I saw my first mushroom. I am a self educated mycologist, continuing to learn something new every day is one of the things I look forward too.
There are so many beautiful varieties of mushrooms already known to the world and more waiting to be discovered. If we work together, we will find them and share them with the world.
Building a fungarium has also been something I've been working on for a couple years now, DNA testing is something else I want to do on my fungarium specimens., unfortunately it is expensive and currently reserved for special specimens. If If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask, Any help, suggestions ,critiques or criticism is much appreciated.
Sincerely,
William
